    I've just had the mother of all fights to get into a bottle of vodka! The screw cap just went round and round and round, so I used a table knife to try to break the tabs, but that didn't work, so I used a carving knife and that didn't work, so I used the carving knife to put a hole in the top of the lid and tried to pour a la cocktail style. That didn't work - nothing came out and as I tried to put a second hole in, I was able to lever the lid off!

    Phew!! Worth it though, I'm going to enjoy a nice vodka and cranberry juice. OH has flown in, got ready, flown out, so I can enjoy the evening.

    I'm calling it a medicinal drink with me having this heavy head, bit of a cold feeling.
